Spinning Away Lyrics - Sugar Ray

Up on a hill, as the day dissolves 

With my pencil turning moments into line 

High above in the violet sky 

A silent silver plane - it draws a golden chain 

One by one, all the stars appear 

As the great winds of the planet spiral in 

Spinning away, like the night sky at Arles 

In the million insect storm, the constellations form 

On a hill, under a raven sky 

I have no idea exactly what I've drawn 

Some kind of change, some kind of spinning away 

With every single line moving further out in time 

And now as the pale moon rides (in the stars) 

Her form in my pale blue lines (in the stars) 

And there, as the world rolls round (in the stars) 

I draw, but the lines move round (in the stars) 

There, as the great wheels blaze (in the stars) 

I draw, but my drawing fades (in the stars) 

And now, as the old sun dies (in the stars) 

I draw, and the four winds sigh (in the stars).
